Memorial Day

It has been quite some time since I have posted an update.  Not because there has been nothing to comment on, but because there simply has not been enough time. You see, my employer has taken on the attitude that they can demand anything they want from me, my peers and even my boss - even if it requires us to work 18 hour days, which we often do; because they know we are not going to quit.  Let's face it, they are right!  Welcome to O'Bama's America!

I have not talked to family or friends much at all over the past several months, and the few times I have had an opportunity to speak with someone, their story has been the same - "my boss is working me to death!", but they add, "at least I have a job".  But how can this be when we hear all the time about how the economy is improving?  I just heard this week that the economy is making a "remarkable" recovery.  If I had an extra couple dollars, I might send our President an updated Websters Dictionary, because the definition of remarkable in my copy does not seem to match what I am witnessing every day in my life.

Over the past 27 years in management, I have had the opportunity to advertise for help wanted.  Over the years, the response has ranged from poor to very good.  Among the responses, there were people who had not worked for a long time and there were people who were recently unemployed and there were people who were currently working, but looking for new opportunities.  Last week however, I ran an ad because I am fortunate enough to work in an industry that has not been hit as hard by the economy - at least not yet.  In three days, I received 500 resumes from a full range of backgrounds - recent college graduates to former CEO's.  Of the 500 resumes, I pulled 25 of the "best" to call for interviews.   I spent an entire day interviewing candidates and it was the most depressing day of my career.  I interviewed people who had not had an interview for 6 months, who broke down in tears just because they had an opportunity.  I interviewed people who had sold everything they owned at were at the end of their rope with no idea how they would feed their children if they did not get a job soon.  These same people offered to work for half of what the job was paying, just for an opportunity to have a job.

Is this what we have become?  Is this what O'Bama's America is going to be like?  Is this what the future in America is going to be like?  Will the future in America be about fewer people working endless hours until they drop dead doing the job of two or three people?  If so, what will happen to the millions of people that do not have a job?  Will the government support them?  If fewer people are working, how much will they be taxed for the government to raise enough money to feed all of those unemployed, impovershed people?  At what point will the workers determine the work is not worth the small amount of money the government will let them keep and join the side of the unemployed?

This Memorial Day should be more than ever, a day to honor and memorialize our fallen hero's.  These are the men and women who had sacrificed their lives for our freedom and liberty.  These are the hero's who sacrificed so that Americans would not have to live in O'Bama's America, but rather in America's America!  If there is any doubt that the President of this great nation is an enemy of the people; if there is any doubt that the President is an enemy of the nation; if there is any doubt that this President should be arrested and tried for treason and punished to the full extent of the Constitution, think about this...while every President before him has honored our nation, he has apologized to our enemies for it!  While every President (except Carter) has provided protection and ammunition to our armed forces, he has cut their budget during WARTIME!  While every President has spent Memorial Day weekend honoring our fallen and injured soldiers, he is spending it in Chicago, playing basket ball and having a BBQ.

Despite warning after warning, the ignoramuses in this nation put this devil in the top position of our nation.  Since he has been there, he has lied to, cheated and stolen from every freedom loving American.  He has destroyed the greatest economy in the world and ruined millions of lives.  He is working feverishly to remove every freedom we have held sacred for 234 years.  He is spending his every waking moment on his plan to set your pay and determine how much money is enough for every American, working or not. 

I recently heard a radio talk show host state that he knew O'Bama would be radical, but he never could have imagined that he could have been this radical.  This was someone who is portrayed as a radical conservative talk show host.  WAKE UP!  I have been saying this since early in his campaign.  I have and will continue to say, where radical is concerned, if you can imagine it, he will do it.  This man has no limits!  He is an enemy of the state, he is an ally to radical Islam and he is fighting their war from within our own White House!  Here is the simple fact.  It was said during the days following the September 11 attack that the way for the terrorists to bring down our nation would be by destroying our economy. In all his life, the late Ted Kennedy said only one thing right when he (mistakenly) called O'Bama, "Osama O'Bama". 

The Republicans are cowards and far too naive to do anything about this President.  The Tea Party is making strides, but not enough and not nearly fast enough.  The Whig Party is not getting the press they need.  It is time for all great Americans, regardless of party affiliation, to rise up and call attention to this travesty.  We will painted as crazy, but so were the revolutionaries.  The way for the enemy to defend themselves against the truth is to portray the opposition as unpatriotic or crazy.  Let the facts speak for themselves. 

This Memorial Day, while our President is kicking back over a beer and a brat, take a moment and say a prayer for the fallen hero's.  While you're at it, say a prayer for our nation and for our freedom and for the millions of people who have been victimized by the injustice of this President.  May God Save America!
